Spaghetti With Garlic And Olive Oil Recipe – Spaghetti Recipe – Garlic Spaghetti Recipe

Prep: 10 mins – Total: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450 grams) spaghetti, or other long pasta
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) extra virgin olive oil
• 4-5 garlic cloves, finely sliced
• 1 tsp dried chili flakes, or to taste (or 3 fresh chillies)
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, coarsely chopped
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more to serve(optional, if you don’t keep it vegan)
• salt, to taste

Instructions

1. Bring a pot of salted water to the boil and add spaghetti. Cook until al dente: the spaghetti is soft but still has a little bite.
2. While the spaghetti is cooking make the sauce: If you don’t use dried chili flakes, remove the seeds from the chilies and finely chop. Peel and finely slice the garlic cloves.
3. Heat the olive oil gently in a frying pan. Add the garlic and chili and cook gently for a few minutes, or until the garlic is pale gold, which will be enough time for the flavorings to infuse the oil (take care not to burn it!). Stir in chopped parsley.
4. Drain the spaghetti still “al dente”, reserve 1/2 cup cooking water.
5. Add spaghetti to the frying pan, stir well to coat with the oil, add some starchy cooking water, as much as needed to ensure the pasta is moist and juicy*. Cook on medium heat for 30 seconds, stirring a couple of times.
6. Sprinkle the spaghetti with extra chopped parsley, and grated parmesan cheese if you don’t keep it vegan. Enjoy!

• 1 Tbsp green peppercorns, canned
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 Tbsp mustard
• “BONES”:
• 1-2 leeks, white part only (or scallions, white part only)
• ½ Tbsp soy sauce
• ½ tsp carob powder

Instructions

1. Boil pasta for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it get mushy and sticky inside the pot.
2. Add the smoked tofu cubes in a large bowl.
3. Add the sticky, boiled corn pasta. Using an immersion blender, start blending the ingredients to turn them into a paste.
4. Add the minced garlic cloves, carob powder, spice blend and blend some more.
5. Add the beetroot juice and psyllium husks. Mix well by hand.
6. Place a sheet of cling film over a chopping board. Add the lamb “meat” paste and then place another sheet of cling film on top. Close it at the margins.
7. Start giving it a cylindrical shape. Place it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
8. Chop the herbs. Add them to a bowl and mix them with breadcrumbs and olive oil. Set aside.
9. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan.
10. Remove the cling film from the “meat” roast and carefully place it inside the pan. Let it fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, until crispy. Carefully turn it on all sides so it will be nice and crispy all over. Turn off the heat and let it cool a bit. Cover an oven dish with some parchment paper.
11. Carefully move the “meat” roast from the pan to the oven dish. Brush it with some olive oil on the top part and on the sides.
12. Using your hands, start covering it with the herbs mix. Press it gently. It will stick.
13. Cook in the preheated oven at 200C for 30 minutes.
14. Cut the white part of some scallions and leeks to make the “bones”. Place them on a small plate. Drizzle some soy sauce on top and sprinkle them with some carob powder. Brush them.
15. Once the vegan lamb rack is ready, take it out of the oven and add the leek “bones”. I simply inserted them into the roast.
16. Serve with a sauce made by mixing natural soy yogurt with mustard, minced garlic clove, and green peppercorns.
17. Enjoy!

Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled (Red potatoes and russets both do the trick, but Yukon golds, with their smooth, buttery taste and texture, make for the best mash.)
• 1 cup low-fat milk
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 5-6 cloves roasted garlic
• Salt and black pepper to tastenull

Directions

1. Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil.
2. Cook until a knife inserted into the flesh meets no resistance, about 25 minutes. Drain.
3. While the potatoes boil, combine the milk, butter, and garlic in a small saucepan and heat until the butter is melted. Keep warm.
4. Use a potato masher or a large wooden spoon to break up the large chunks of potatoes in a rough purée. (If you have a potato ricer, use it—nothing yields smoother mashed potatoes.)
5. Slowly add the hot milk mixture to the potatoes, using a wooden spoon to beat continuously. Season with salt and black pepper.

Garlic Ginger Glazed Sticky Pork Recipe

Prep: 15 mins – Cook: 10 mins – Total: 25 mins

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds boneless center cut pork loin cut into 1/4-inch thick slabs, then 1/4-inch thick strips, about 3 inches long
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon canola or peanut oil plus extra if necessary
• 5 cloves garlic peeled and minced or pressed through a garlic press
• 2- inch knob of fresh ginger grated
• 1/2 cup mild honey
• 2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup sriracha or chili garlic sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar or white wine vinegar

Directions

1. In a liquid measuring cup or a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mild honey, sriracha, and rice wine vinegar. Set aside.
2. Pour the oil into a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium high heat and swirl to coat. Let it heat until it is shimmering. While the oil heats, sprinkle the pork strips with kosher salt and black pepper then toss with your hands to distribute it evenly. Carefully add the pork to the pan, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Let the first side brown, flip the pieces with tongs or a spatula, and brown the second side. Transfer the pork to a plate.
3. Return the pan to the heat and add in the garlic and ginger. Stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4. Raise the heat to high and pour in the sauce mixture and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. When the sauce is very bubbly and thickened like warm honey, toss the pork back in and toss constantly to coat everything and reduce the sauce to a thick, sticky glaze on the pork. This can be served immediately over rice, noodles, or as finger food, or can be allowed to cool and be eaten cold.
